IF YOU EVER SET UP AN AQUARIUM TAKE TIME TO LEARN A FEW VALUABLE TIPS BEFORE PUTTING IN THE FISH. FIRST THING RINSE OUT THE TANK REALLY GOOD TO GET RID OF ANY CHEMICAL RESIDUE OR GERMS AND BACTERIA. FISH ARE VERY DELICATE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AS SUCH. ANY SOAP AT ALL CAN KILL EVERYTHING IN THE TANK.
SECOND IS PICKING THE RIGHT SPOT WHERE YOU WANT THE AQUARIUM. YOU WANT TO PICK A SPOT WITH A LITTLE SUNLIGHT BUT NOT TOO MUCH . A PLACE WHERE THE TANK WILL NOT HAVE TO BE MOVED. AND A SPOT WHERE YOU CAN MAINTAIN THE TANK EASILY, AND OF COARSE WHERE EVERYONE CAN VIEW AND APPRECIATE YOUR FISH AND AQUARIUM'S WORK OF ART.
ONCE THE RIGHT SPOT IS PICKED YOU CAN START PUTTING IT TOGETHER I SUGGEST
UNDER GRAVEL FILTERS THE EASIEST TO TAKE CARE OF. ONCE YOU HAVE THE FILTER IN PLACE YOU ARE READY FOR THE GRAVEL, I WOULD SUGGEST RINSING THE GRAVEL FIRST BEFORE PUTTING IN THE TANK THIS GETS RID OF THE DUST PARTICLES THAT WOULD CLOUD THE WATER AT START I RECOMMEND AT LEAST 1 TO 2 INCHES THE HIGHER BEING BETTER MAKES IT EASIER TO DECORATE WITH PLANTS AND ROCKS.
AFTER THE GRAVEL IS IN THE TANK YOU CAN PUT THE PLANTS AND ROCKS IN PLACE. THEN ADD THE WATER. TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN PLACE LET THE WATER GOING IN, HIT A BOWL ON THE BOTTOM THIS WILL KEEP GRAVEL AND PLANTS IN PLACE,
THEN YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT WHEN DONE . FILL THE TANK WITH WATER TO WITHIN 2 INCHES OF THE TOP. NEXT PUT THE HEATER IN MAKE SURE IT IS THE PROPER SIZE FOR YOUR TANK. LET IT SET 15 MINUTES BEFORE PLUGGING IN SO THE TEMPERATURE CAN GET THE SAME AS THE WATER NEVER PUT A HOT HEATER INTO COLD WATER A LOT OF HEATERS ARE BROKEN THIS WAY. NOW PLUG IN THE FILTER AND LET IT START WORKING.
NOW YOUR TANK IS SET UP. YOU SHOULD NOW TEST YOUR WATER WITH A WATER
TESTER KIT. BE SURE TO ADD CHEMICAL TO TAKE OUT THE CHLORINE IN THE TAP WATER. IF ITS BEEN 15 MINUTES OR MORE YOU CAN CUT THE HEATER ON AND SET IT TO 72 TO 76 DEGREES WHICH WILL ACCOMMODATE MOST TROPICAL FISH. AFTER YOU GET THE WATER RIGHT AND THE TEMPERATURE RIGHT YOU CAN ADD THE FISH.
BE SURE TO LET FISH FLOAT IN THE TANK, IN THE BAG FOR 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE OPENING THE BAG ,ONCE YOU OPEN BAG POUR A LITTLE WATER OUT AND PUT A LITTLE OF THE TANK WATER IN THE BAG,WAIT 5 MIN AND DO IT AGAIN ,WAIT 5 MIN AND RELEASE THE FISH THEY SHOULD BE ACCLIMATED BY THEN. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS OR THE FISH CAN GO INTO SHOCK OR IF COMING FROM A HIGHER TEMPERATURE TO A COLDER TEMPERATURE THEY CAN GET ICK WHICH IS CURABLE, BUT YOU DON'T WANT IT. YOU ARE DONE SIT BACK AND ENJOY.
